“He was a legend. That arena was very supportive of Trump when he came in.”
She continued: “I was like, I don’t know how I feel about it, because if someone is a target, then I’m like, I could be harmed because I’m adjacent to where he is. So I was worried about my own safety, that’s all I was caring about. But yeah, I’ve never seen anything like that before. It was crazy.”
Fox has now insisted that she “never said Donald Trump is a legend”.
In a post on Instagram, the 35-year-old wrote: “Uhmmm…Â I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians.
“I never said Donald Trump is a legend. I said he was a legend….in that arena (key part of thesentence.)
“The arena was filled with UFC fight fans. Many of them clearly Republican, based off the insane crowd reaction he received walking into the T-Mobile venue.
“That was an observable fact,” she added. “Not my opinion.”
She went on to criticise the backlash her comments had received, writing that she was “really loving this mid-evil [sic], pitch fork carrying, burn a witch at the stake mentality though.”
